Guests at a table on the water at BAO'S as the sun sets over Little Venice

Golden hour, Little Venice

Front row, then the volume comes up

Tables at the water's edge with the windmills across the bay. Most of Little Venice sells you the view. Here the music starts before the sun is down.

One evening, in order

  1. 10:30

    Doors open

    Breakfast, coffee and the terrace to yourself. No minimum spend during the day.

  2. 17:00

    Seaside tables open

    Two hour slots at the water's edge, under the parasols, windmills across the bay.

  3. Golden hour

    The sunset party

    The music comes up before the light goes. This is the part most terraces do not do.

  4. 20:30

    The saxophone

    Live sax over the water, playing against the DJ as the last of the light leaves.

  5. Late

    The room turns

    Cocktails become a party, and it runs to 03:00.

Where to sit for it

Sunset is the busiest hour of the day in Little Venice. Booking a specific place is the difference between watching it and looking for somewhere to stand.
